Chapter 55: Chinese New Year's Eve

Sacrificing ancestors is a grand folk activity during the Spring Festival. Before the arrival of Chinese New Year's Eve, every household should put genealogy, ancestor statues, tablets, etc. in the upper hall of the home, place offering tables, and set up incense burners and offerings.

While worshipping ancestors, some places also worship the gods of heaven and the god of the land, and some places also worship the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.

The offerings include sheep, five bowls of vegetables, five-color dim sum, five bowls of rice, a pair of jujube cakes, and a big steamed bun, commonly known as "heaven and earth offerings".

The parents officiate, burn three incense sticks, bow down, pray for a good harvest, and finally burn paper, commonly known as "sending money and grain".

During the Spring Festival, people worship their ancestors and worship the gods, which is actually to pay New Year's greetings to their ancestors and gods.

With the change of the times, there have been some changes, modern rural areas are ready a table of meals, first for the ancestors to enjoy, while burning paper money, although the customs in various places are a little different, but basically speaking, the difference is not very big.

There are no firecrackers, and now there are only bamboo poles to burn, although the sound is not very loud, but it can also make a "crackling" sound, as the night is approaching, the whole Chang'an City is full of the smell of bamboo, accompanied by billowing black smoke rushing to the sky.

Li Shen squatted in the hall, holding a stack of paper money in his hand and burning it slowly, he didn't know who to burn it to, and his old N generation ancestors didn't know where it was.

Li Shen sighed helplessly, he didn't expect seven or eight months to pass in the blink of an eye when he left home, and he didn't know how his parents were doing now? He crossed over to Li Chengqian's body for no reason, and he didn't know if Li Chengqian's kid had crossed over to him, otherwise his mother would probably be crying in front of his grave at this time.

I didn't expect his life in modern times to be so short, and he didn't do anything in the whole family, leaving behind the eternal distress of his family.

Li Shen stood up, looked at his wife and children in a row, showed a slight smile on his face, and said, "Put it away, let's eat quickly, we are all busy until now, I would have starved to death a long time ago." ”

Su Haitang glared at Li Shen and said, "How do you speak, don't look at what occasion it is now, the ancestor has just taken the chopsticks, and you will drive them away?" ”

"Forget it, they have already run to the palace, we just need to take care of ourselves, let's serve all the food, and our family will officially start eating." Li Shen said lightly.

There are a lot of people, one person on the table was quickly cleaned up, and in a blink of an eye, it was replaced with a hot meal, the types of vegetables are still relatively small, Li Shen has no way, although he can plant vegetables in greenhouses, but he has no way without plastic film, glass can also be built into greenhouses, but he doesn't want to study glass now.

Li Shen squatted on the wine glass and stood up, looking at the family with a happy smile in front of him, he has changed from a single person to a family of eight in a few months, this change is really fast, and said: "We all have done this cup, I wish you all new dreams in the new year, good health and all the best." ”

"."

Su Haitang nodded with a smile, smiled at Hou Peipei, and said, "." ”

"Daddy, mother, let's ......," Li Xiang shouted with a wine glass.

"Let's have a drink." Su Haitang put down the wine glass and said lightly.

Li Xiang looked at Li Shen, looked at him and nodded, and then licked it slightly, the rice wine brewed from pure grains is not very high, and it doesn't matter if you taste it a little, Li Shen agreed that the three little brothers drank a little.

Li Ju frowned, grinned, looked at Li Shen, and said, "Daddy, it's too hard to drink." ”

"Who told you to drink so much, children can't drink, don't you know? Daddy is for you to taste a little play. Doctor Li followed and said to Li Ju.

"Madam, I toast you for my husband, these have made you hard." Li Shen looked at Su Haitang sitting next to him with a wine glass, and said with some affection, women are bitter, especially women who are Li Chengqian, and I don't know how this gentle woman has survived all these years.

Su Haitang picked up the wine glass, looked at Li Shen with a little ruddy eyes, and shouted in a low voice: "Xianggong... The concubine is ......"

Hou Peipei, who was sitting on the chair next to him, pouted slightly and said, "You still know that my sister is happy." ”

"Pepe." Su Haitang shouted.

Li Shen smiled and said, "If you are pregnant, drink less, it is not good for the child." ”

Su Haitang nodded.

Li Shen picked up the wine glass and looked at Hou Peipei, who was stubborn, and said, "Then, this cup is for you, you must give birth to a big girl for your husband next year, or you will have to give birth again next year." ”

"Poof."

Suddenly, everyone at the table laughed, Su Haitang reached out and pinched Li Shen's waist fiercely, and said, "What are you talking nonsense, what are you doing when Pepe." ”

Hou Peipei glared at Li Shen with a blushing face and said, "I don't know I'm pregnant, can I drink this wine?" Chinese New Year's Eve is still so improper, the children are still there, why should I give birth to a daughter, can't it be a son? ”

"Xiang'er, doctor'er, and Ji'er, do you think it's better for your Aunt Pei to have a younger brother or a younger sister?" Li Shen asked the three sons with a smile.

"Brother is better." Li Xiang lowered his head and said.

"Hello sister, good sister." Doctor Li and Li Ju followed.

Li Shen looked at Li Xiang with a smile, this kid has a little more thoughts, this is not a good phenomenon! Some of the matures are too early, it seems that they have to be enlightened in the future, otherwise they will be heavy-minded when they grow up, and they will not become stuffy gourds in the future, and everything will be hidden in their hearts.

Li Xiang seemed to feel Li Shen's gaze, raised his head slightly and glanced at Li Shen, and then lowered his head even lower.

Li Shen looked at him and sighed slightly in his heart, what happened to this child?

Hou Peipei asked angrily, "Why?" Is penis bad? ”

"It's not good, we have me in our family, like my brother, and my younger brother, Yi'er wants a younger sister, so that we have a little sister in our family, just like everyone else, and I also like little sisters, who can dress up beautifully."

Li Shen looked at Hou Peipei with a smile and said, "Did you hear it, the doctor wants to give it to my sister." ”

Hou Peipei rolled her eyes and said, "Go and let her mother give birth, what are you looking for me." ”

Wang Qian's face was relatively thin, and she lowered her head with a blushing face when she heard the voice, and reached out to pull Doctor Li who was sitting next to her, asking him to stop talking nonsense.

"Girl, girl, both of you have daughters in this litter, and our family is full of boys, and we will not be able to flourish and decline when the time comes." Li Shen said with a smile, compared to his son, he still likes his daughter, who is his father's close-fitting little padded jacket, and his son is a fart, so he was born to collect debts.
